Pet care experience

Looking to make some furry friends!

I have owned a Golden, a Pyrennes, and currently parent to a 6yr old Basenji mix and a Lab puppy. Over the years I have walked the largest breeds like a pair of twin red blood hounds and several rotweiler mixes. I also have experience protecting the very smallest of dogs while on walkies. Grew up in Emmaus and married my husband from Bethlehem. We have been here for more than 10+yrs.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My own doggo gets very special kibble and chipped lunch meat. We go out on long walks twice a day when it is nice, however he also is a tropical dog so he cannot handle rain/cold. Any time we can find a chance to play fetch inside or outside is great stimulation when accompanied by effective communication.

Matthew was extremely nice and great watching my dog over the long weekend, I never felt more comfortable leaving my little guy alone than I did with him, highly highly recommend!!

Matthew has taken care of my dog while away on vacation. Not only did he treat him(and spoil him)probably better then I do, I received picture updates and texts the entire week I was away! It was a relief to know my pet was being so loved and well cared for, and didn’t seem to interested in leaving when I came to pick him up, lol! I would 100% recommend Matthew as a pet sitter.

Matt has been a reliable sitter for our Great Pyrenees, Golden Retrievers and two kitties when we are away for the weekend or just a couple of days. He’s always been loving and kind to our animals.

I will need to know commands that they actually obey. Dietary restrictions must be disclosed as I may need to use micro incentive treats depending on the match. Finally, any fears or known dislikes ("Don't touch my ears//paws!").
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
